The Bloodsugars first established themselves as a force within Brooklyn’s indie-rock scene with the 2008 release of their critically acclaimed debut EP, BQEP. Now gearing up for the November release of their first full-length, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On (Engine Room Recordings), the band finds itself poised to conquer new territory with national audiences. The group will promote the new album by setting out on a tour of the Midwest, wrapping up with a homecoming show at New York’s Webster Hall/The Studio November 21 with Project Jenny Project Jan and Savoir Adore.
According to frontman Jason Rabinowitz, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On is “a modern prom playlist.” Of course, prom is not without its awkward, painful moments. Written during a time of personal difficulty for band members, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On is about remembering that there is always something to celebrate, even in the face of major adversity. With their combination of thoughtful lyricism and kinetic beats, the album’s ten new tracks reflect a refreshing optimism and sweetness. Imagine a house designed by Paul Simon, built by Prince, and decorated by The Flaming Lips and you’ll have some idea of where The Bloodsugars live.
The album features a host of indie luminaries, including trumpet player Kyle Resnick (The National), cellist Colette Alexander (Rilo Kiley, Jens Lekman, Rachel Yamagata) and indie darling Bell. Additionally, Philadelphia-based recording wiz Bill Moriarty—the man behind albums by Dr. Dog and Man Man—produced and engineered the record.
